Chapter 195 - 194, If You Want to Fight, Then Let’s Fight
Wu Qiankun’s face was expressionless, "To compensate for the losses of the Sandao Association and Zhongyi Hall, someone surnamed Wu was willing to relinquish all territories in the provincial city."
As soon as these words were spoken, Han Shijun and Cao Jinbo both showed expressions of astonishment.
They clearly did not expect that Wu Qiankun would give up the territories in the provincial city for the sake of rebuilding South City, a project worth over a billion. After all, the value of those territories was by no means comparable to this reconstruction project.
This also solidified the two’s previous suspicions that Qingyuan, once a small and unremarkable county, was likely to be on the brink of a new opportunity, potentially becoming the financial hub of North River!
Otherwise, Wu Qiankun would not be making such a hefty investment, because everyone knew that whoever completed this project would have established a foothold in Qingyuan County.
After a moment of contemplation, Cao Jinbo said, "Thank you for your generous offer, President Wu, but both our Zhongyi Hall and the Sandao Association have decided to give up the provincial market."
The market in the provincial city had long been saturated, and although it brought them nine figures of wealth annually, those riches no longer satisfied their ambitions.
They would not abandon Qingyuan, an endless goldmine, for a saturated market.
A meaningful smile appeared on Wu Qiankun’s aged face, "So, are you both declaring war against our Wanlong Association?"
"If you want war, then war it is. Do you think we’re afraid of you?" Han Shijun’s eyes were full of disdain, as the combined forces of the Sandao Association and Zhongyi Hall were not weaker than the Wanlong Association.
More importantly, this was Qingyuan, not the provincial city.
